Initial packet consents and questionnaires are due at least 72 hours prior to the appointment, otherwise appointment may have to be canceled and rescheduled.
A provider–patient relationship is established only after completion of the formal intake process, review of clinical information, attendance at the initial intake appointment, mutual agreement to proceed with treatment, and signed informed consent documents. Insurance participation and verification of benefits do not guarantee coverage or payment, and clients are responsible for confirming that their insurance plan is accepted and for understanding their individual benefits.
Please log in/arrive on time for your scheduled telehealth and in-person appointment.
For a 60-minute or longer appointment:
A 5–10 minute grace period is allowed
If you are more than 10 minutes late, your visit may be shortened or may need to be rescheduled
If you have not joined/arrived within 15 minutes, the appointment will be considered a no-show
For a 30-minute appointment:
If you have not joined/arrived within 10 minutes, the appointment will be considered a no-show.
I understand that unexpected situations can happen. If you realize you will be late or forgot your appointment, please notify me as soon as possible. I may be able to offer some flexibility depending on the schedule. However, in some cases, it may not be possible to accommodate a late arrival, and the appointment may need to be rescheduled.
While I make every effort to start appointments on time, there may occasionally be delays due to the nature of clinical care. If I am running late, I will do my best to inform you and appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping keep the schedule running smoothly.
Please read "Insurance & Pricing" and "What to Expect" under "For Clients" before scheduling the appointment.
An active email address is required to schedule an appointment. By scheduling or requesting an appointment, you acknowledge and consent to receiving email communications from my practice related to scheduling, required forms, billing, and other administrative matters.
Appointment reminders may also be sent via text message and/or email. By providing your mobile phone number and/or email address, you consent to receive such communications. These reminders are provided as a courtesy. It remains your responsibility to keep track of and attend all scheduled appointments, regardless of whether a reminder is received.
Please note that standard email and text messaging are not always secure forms of communication. While reasonable safeguards are used, there is some risk that information transmitted electronically may be intercepted or accessed by third parties. By providing your contact information, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
For reference, arriving 10 minutes or more late for a 30-minute appointment, or 15 minutes late for longer appointments, is considered a missed visit (no-show) because there is not enough time left to complete the appointment safely and appropriately.
*Late Cancellation/No Show to any appointment will be automatically charged a fee of $150. For clients with Medicaid insurance, if you have two no shows/late cancellation/rescheduling, you will have to be discharged from my care. This policy helps ensure respect for scheduled appointment times and allows those times to remain available for other clients who are waiting for care.
